Resetting password of the OpsCenter Security Admin

This section provides the procedure to reset password for the OpsCenter Security Administrator (Security Admin). For security purposes, password reset function for the Security Admin is not provided on the OpsCenter GUI. The Security Admin can reset his or her password manually through OpsCenter Authentication Service (OpsCenter AT).

For security reasons, the OpsCenter Security Administrator should change the password after it was reset. OpsCenter displays the Change Password page when you try to log in after your password was reset.

Note:

If an OpsCenter user forgets the password, the OpsCenter Security Administrator can reset it using the Reset Password page on the OpsCenter GUI. Navigation to the Reset Password page:Settings > Users > Edit User > Reset Password

See Resetting an OpsCenter user password.
